Μάρτυρες, εἴπατε ἄμμιν ἀληθῶς, εἰ φίλον ὑμῖν

αἱ σύνοδοι; τί μὲν οὖν ἥδιον; ἀντί τίνος;
τῆς ἀρετῆς: πολλοὶ γὰρ ἀμείνους ὧδε γένοιντ᾽ ἄν,

εἰ τιμῷτ᾽ ἀρετή. τοῦτο μὲν εὖ λέγετε.

ἡ δὲ μέθη, τό τε γαστρὸς ὑπάρχειν τοὺς θεραπευτὰς
ἄλλοις: ἀθλοφόρων ἔκλυσις ἀλλοτρία.

— Paton edition

" Tell me, martyrs, truly, if ye love the meetings? "
" What could be dearer to us? " " For the sake of
what?" " Virtue, for if virtue were honoured, many
men would become better." " Ye are right in this,
but drunkenness and enslavement to the belly is for
others. Dissipation is alien to the martyrs. "
